Your eating competition partner told me. He said that you like candy.

[foreversweaterweather]

Oh! Haha yeah, I do. He was really good at eating mushrooms, too!

[ her grin fizzles out because, well. it seems awkward and...almost wrong, to be talking about something that silly in the wake of someone being found dead. ]

[ercnerd]

[It is awkward—enough that he decides they're better off just dropping it.]

Were you hurt last night?

[foreversweaterweather]

[ shakes her head ]

No...everything was fine last night! For me AND everyone else in Summer dorm... I don't know what happened!

[ercnerd]

I'd be surprised if you did.

That's good, though. That means you woke up in the dorm.

[foreversweaterweather]

Did anybody not wake up in the dorms...?

[ercnerd]

I woke up in the moat.

[foreversweaterweather]

Wait...wha?

Why?

[ercnerd]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I was in the dorm when everyone blacked out.

[foreversweaterweather]

Wow, weird... Do you think maybe the geese broke in and dragged you out in your sleep?

[ercnerd]

[What?]

How could the geese have broken in when none of us could break out?

[foreversweaterweather]

Magic ninja spy geese.

[ercnerd]

[Right. This is a child.]

Somehow I doubt that. Nice try, though.

[foreversweaterweather]

That's exactly what they want you to think. You're playing right into their trap, you know!

If there can be a ducktective, why not ninja spy geese!

[ercnerd]

Do you have proof that these geese may be those things?

[foreversweaterweather]

Yeah! That they broke into your dorm and dragged you outside, obviously!

[ercnerd]

. . . Never mind.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mabel, but I should be going. A lot's going on right now, so keep your eyes open and ears peeled. Don't spend too much time alone.

[foreversweaterweather]

Okay! You too, or else the ninja geese might get you again!
